Bryson Tiller’s ‘The Vices’: All 12 Tracks Ranked
And just like that, Tiller SZN is in full swing.
Just over a year after sharing his heart-baring self-titled album, which featured the Billboard Hot 100 top 20 hit “Whatever She Wants,” Bryson Tiller is already back with the first half of his sprawling new double album. Titled Solace & The Vices, Tiller’s fifth studio album gives equal consideration to the two sounds that dominate his catalog: sharp bars sourced from his rap roots, and introspective, trap-infused R&B.
On Friday (Aug. 8), Tiller shared The Vices, the rap-rooted side of his double LP, featuring production contributions from Hitmaka, Charlie Heat, Teddy Walton and Gravez, as well as guest appearances by Bossman Dlow, Rick Ross, Plies, T-Pain, Bun B, Luh Tyler and Babydrill. Across the record, which balances notes of sexy drill and different pockets of Southern hip-hop, Tiller weighs the impact of his vices, temptation’s constant allure, and the journey to repairing and solidifying his one true romance.
The new record arrives at a particularly busy time for Tiller. In June, the Grammy-nominated star began his run as an opener for Chris Brown’s globe-trotting Breezy Bowl XX Tour. The two R&B leading men brought the show to the U.S. on July 30, tapping R&B heavyweights Summer Walker and Jhené Aiko, who will also serve as openers for select dates.
A few days earlier, Tiller and Brown released their sixth collaboration, a RIOTUSA-produced and Usher-nodding midtempo titled “It Depends,” which has debuted at No. 43 on the Hot 100 (dated Aug. 9). And later this year, Tiller will celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Trapsoul, his landmark debut album, which changed the trajectory of 2010s R&B and spent over 400 weeks on the Billboard 200.
